Monopoles in High Temperature Phase of SU(2) QCD
Abstract
We investigated a behavior of monopole currents in the high temperature phase of abelian projected finite temperature SU(2) QCD in maximally abelian gauge. Wrapped monopole currents which are closed by periodic boundary play an important role for the spatial string tension. And the wrapped monopole current density seems to be non-vanishing in the continuum limit. These results may be related to Polyakov's analysis of the confinement mechanism using monopole gas in 3-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory with Higgs fields.
